This…
Everyone stared at the “mysterious swordsman” in disbelief.
While they weren't “sword cultivators,” they knew the basic tenets of “sword cultivation.”
A “sword intent duel” between “sword cultivators,” though merely a clash of “momentum,” was incredibly perilous. A single misstep could cripple one’s entire “sword cultivation.”
The “mysterious swordsman,” already surrounded by the heavy assault of “Lower Sword Intent,” had actually uttered such a “provocative” remark!
He was either a “madman” who didn’t know the meaning of “death”!
Or he was an “unparalleled expert,” impossibly strong, so powerful that even “Lower Sword Intent” couldn’t touch him.
…
The crowd watched as the “mysterious swordsman” stood perfectly still, allowing the "Lower Sword Intent" to batter him without moving an inch.
This guy… was likely the latter.
An unparalleled swordsman!
Impossibly strong!
Completely unfazed by the onslaught of "Lower Sword Intent."
Witnessing this scene, Wei Suo, the "Young Master of Yin Sword" in the sky, his expression turned incredibly ferocious. His once somewhat handsome face contorted into a vicious snarl, filled with malice.
Impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
How could this inconspicuous fellow in a straw hat withstand my "Lower Sword Intent"?
My "Lower Sword Intent" was passed down to me by my great-grandfather on his deathbed.
My great-grandfather was a "Spirit Severing Ancestor" who cultivated "Lower Sword Intent" his entire life, reaching the "Fourth Level."
During the "power transfer," much of the sword intent was lost, and I only inherited the "Third Level of Lower Sword Intent."
But even so, it’s incredibly formidable!
Among the younger generation of the entire "Dark Sword Sect," my "Lower Sword Intent" is unmatched.
How could this unremarkable "mysterious swordsman" possibly block it?
No!
I must kill him!
Wei Suo instinctively felt a threat from the "mysterious swordsman" and roared internally.
Kill, kill, kill!
Kill the "mysterious swordsman"!
As Wei Suo's killing intent surged, the power of his "Lower Sword Intent" escalated rapidly.
It soon climbed to the "peak of the Third Level."
Boundless momentum, surging and powerful!
Yet, the "mysterious swordsman" remained steadfast in his position.
He was like a “colossal peak,” heavy and imposing, unyielding to any storm.
The sinister and vicious "Lower Sword Intent" couldn't budge the "mysterious swordsman" even slightly.
A faint green light emanated from the "mysterious swordsman," his divine charm flowing, effortlessly deflecting the "Lower Sword Intent."
The disparity in their "sword cultivation" was clear for all to see.
Anyone with discerning eyes could tell that, purely in terms of "sword attainments," the "mysterious swordsman" was truly stronger than Wei Suo, and by no small margin.
Especially the "green sword intent" radiating from the "mysterious swordsman," possessing a "kingly aura," majestic and righteous, ruling the world, far superior to the sinister and fierce "Lower Sword Intent"!
The crowd looked at the "mysterious swordsman" with eyes full of admiration and respect.
Who exactly was this "mysterious swordsman"? So strong!
At this moment, Wei Suo was almost bursting with anger!
Damn it!
A random guy shows up and actually suppresses him.
If this is unbearable, then what is?
He had to kill the "mysterious swordsman"!
Wei Suo's expression was contorted and ferocious, his killing aura growing denser, almost taking on a tangible form.
One of his "lackeys" finally sensed Wei Suo's "killing intent" and stepped forward, bowing respectfully to Wei Suo.
"Brother Wei, why use a butcher's cleaver to kill a chicken? Against such an unknown nobody, you don't need to act personally. I can do it!"
Good, good, go quickly!
Wei Suo gave the "lackey" an encouraging look.
It wasn't that he didn't want to speak, but at this moment, he couldn't.
Wei Suo was fully channeling his "Lower Sword Intent" and had reached his limit, unable to spare any effort to speak.
Moreover, Wei Suo could feel the terrifying pressure from the "mysterious swordsman."
If his "Lower Sword Intent" weakened even slightly, the "mysterious swordsman" would break through and launch a full counter-attack.
The consequences were unimaginable!
Seizing this opportunity while the "mysterious swordsman" was cornered, strike now and kill him!
Attack him while he's down!
The "lackey" understood the message and, without wasting words, channeled a "black sword artifact," charging down from the sky with fierce sword energy, heading towards the "mysterious swordsman."
Although this "lackey" was Wei Suo's subordinate and not among the absolute top figures in the "Dark Sword Sect," his full power unleashed at this moment, erupting with a "terrifying sword tide," was still quite formidable.
Streams of "black sword energy" dozens of feet long continuously converged, forming a "torrent of black sword energy," like the Milky Way falling from the heavens, vast and surging, crashing down from the sky.
The sheer impact was enough to shatter the courage of any enemy.
The merchants below witnessed this scene and were terrified to their core.
They cried out in alarm and retreated rapidly, fearing they would be caught in the "torrent of black sword energy" if they were even a moment too slow.
"Elder Hua" shrieked even louder.
"Ahhh, you surnamed Qian, look at the heaven-shattering disaster you've brought! We're done for, we're all done for! The Dark Sword Sect is angry… they're going to slaughter us, we're all doomed…"
The already "anxious crowd" became even more like startled birds after Elder Hua's screams.
Some were on the verge of tears from fear.
These "opportunists" once again sided with Elder Hua.
An endless stream of dissatisfaction, resentment, and venom arose in their hearts towards the "little fatty" Qian Duoduo.
"You surnamed Qian, are you crazy? Why did you provoke the Dark Sword Sect?"
"The Dark Sword Sect just wants money. What wrong did they do? We can just give them all our goods!"
"You surnamed Qian, you've doomed us this time! We won't let you go even as ghosts!"
…
Shouts of "venomous rage," erupting from extreme fear, echoed through the crowd.
People verbally attacked Qian Duoduo.
If circumstances allowed, they would have charged forward and beaten Qian Duoduo to a pulp.
To make you cause trouble, to make you provoke the "Dark Sword Sect," to make you drag us all down…
In response, Qian Duoduo remained emotionally stable, not even bothering to spare these people a second glance.
A bunch of "fair-weather friends"!
Fools!
These people respect power but not virtue!
Talking to them now is a waste of breath. Once the people from the "Dark Sword Sect" are dealt with, these guys will come running to "lick their boots."
As for dealing with the people from the "Dark Sword Sect"…
Qian Duoduo chuckled.
When it comes to swords, we, the "Dragon Rider Merchant Guild," have never feared anyone!
